@pat: "Hi all,
I need a script that will produce a dropdown menu that is limited in width 
when not expanded but once clicked will show the full contents. Does that 
make sense? For example:
When not clicked the dropdown would be fixed 20px width but once the user 
expands it the below list would be capable of expanding to the same width as 
the largest row in the contents. Does anyone know of such a script please? "
    @pat: "Hi Joe,
None of these really suit what I need. I am after a basic look html style 
dropdown menu that will has the capability to show an expanded width list 
when clicked.
Thanks,
Pat.

By Drop down, are you referring to a from element drop down?
If not, can you give us a bit more context? I imagine you could do this via 
a combination of separte scripts if the menu isn't too complex.
That said, I have to ask: why have the end-user have to click an additional 
icon to read the full menu each time?

    @pat: "Darrel,
Yes I am referring to a form element drop down menu but I am not sure where 
you get the "additional icon" bit from.
I want to locate a script (and I have seen this before) that will create a 
fixed-width drop down (ie select) menu (form element type) that when 
selected will expand the width to a greater size than the un-expanded 
fixed-width section, as wide as the largest select item in the list.
I understand this is a little to explain so I hope this is clearer.
Pat.

Ah! Gotcha.
Well, again, why not just let it be as wide as it has to be?
Otherwise, you should be able to set the width of the ddl via your CSS, then 
use an onClick event to change it:
document.getElementById('yourDropDownList').style.width= "200px";
and then use an onChange event to swap it back:
document.getElementById('yourDropDownList').style.width= "100px";
There's probably a more automated/elegant way to write all that but that 
should get you started, hopefully.
But, depending on your layout, that might cause other parts of the page to 
jump around.

This will do the trick.
Cheers guys.
